okay, so my mom hates everything about me so, I make up things that happen at school, like I tell my mom that the boy I like has said I'm sry about a billion times to me b/c of something that really happened but he only told me once, should I stop telling her lies to make her happy with my school life( which is better than my home life)or no???
AskGwen answered Friday May 5 2006, 1:06 pm: Simply put Yes! There's no excuse for lies. It's time for "Mom" to get her head out of the sand. Kids have problems, just like adults. Only the adults are supposed to be grown-up enough to help their children's problem, not the other way around. Your mother is the adult here, not you. Give her that right back, and you, get back to being the daughter again. Good luck to you. [ AskGwen's advice column | Ask AskGwen A Question ]
myusername1 answered Friday May 5 2006, 12:52 pm: first off, im very sorry to hear that your mom .. hates you? me and my mom never really get along either, and trust me ive tried lieing to her but that stupid line "the truth always comes out eventually" is unfortuntley true. she eventually found out my lies which just got me into more trouble and i dont know what would happen to you if the lies came out but i really dont think its a good idea. maybe you could sit down and talk with your mom (i know i totally hate this too) and ask her what about you she disapproves of so much? then you can comprimise. but i think telling the truth is better then lieing and trying to make her happy because im sure there are many other ways you can do that. i hope i helped good luck hun!!

I'm really confused. But regardless, you should stop the lies. Even lying about little things like that can lead you to big lies & thats not good nor healthy.
TheTeenGirl answered Friday May 5 2006, 12:12 am: Yes. I think you should stop the lies and try starting a good healthy relationship with your mom instead of living your life thinking she hates everything about you.
I think that you should tell your mom that you really want to make things better between the two of you because you feel unhappy with the way things are now. If anything, don't lie to her about what happened at school or what happens anywhere else. Start asking her how her day was everyday and ask her what's been going on in her life so that she'll feel like you really care about her. You don't have to make exciting things up for your mom to make her happy with you. Tell her how much homework you have or how much you like a certain friend or teacher.
